Anyone good with networking/ssl? i am trying to figure out server load

I am trying to plan out the scalabiltiy plan of a application i am wroking on.
I have to start with a dedicated host, due to financing this myself, but plan to shortly move to colo as soon as i have the client base.
the main issue i am going to have is all server communication will be over SSL, everything. so as many of you know, this is very processor intensive.
now i am trying to calculate what my hardware purchases as they should be based on the SSL troubles. at what SSL load does it start to become a problem? i am calculating that the average user should make a request at most 5-6 times a minute (max).
going at that rate i figure a regular dedicated server should be able to handle around 20 users that are constantly logged into the system (good estimate?)
My growth plan looks something like:
Stage 1: <=20 customers
Dedicated box for SSL/App server/DB/Files
Stage 2: <= 50 people
SSL/App box (w/ ssl accelerator card)
DB/File box
Stage 3: <= 75
SSL Box (w/ ssl accelerator card)
App Box
Db/File serve
stage 4: <= 100
SSL Box
App Box
DB
File
and so on. does anyone have any suggestions, am i overkilling? or not doing enough, i know someone here has worked on networks enough :o
thanks guys/gals

but then again i am also worried what if this really takes off and i won't be able to scale fast enough

  • Most of my my target audience are not familiar with iTunes, so I am trying to figure out how to explain how to rate it. What's the fastest way to say it to the iTunes-newbie?

    Most of my my target audience are not familiar with iTunes, so I am trying to figure out how to explain how to rate it. Is this the shortest way? “Open iTunes on your computer, click on iTunes Store and search for my podcast. You’ll see it at the top of the results. When you click on it, you’ll see “Write a Review” and will be able to submit your comments and ratings.” Right now they find my podcast because they are on my mailing list, not through iTunes. It would be easy if I could just say, "Go to iTunes.com" or "Go to my web site" - but there are sooooo many steps! Help! Thank you,
    Milana

    There is another trick - if you give them this URL:
    itpc://feeds.feedburner.com/RecurringRevenueRevolutionPodcast
    (note itpc not http)
    it will subscribe them directly to your feed in iTunes, but it does depend on their having iTunes installed (and in Windows set as the application to use with 'itpc'), otherwise they will get an error message, so it's a slightly double-edged weapon. You could them the link and say 'subscribe in iTunes' as an alternative to the iTunes Store page.

    Hi,
    I presume that the new configuration is missing some parts as you seem to have the IP address of the external interface configured staticly on the interface but you have not configured any default route on the firewall? (Original configuration got default route dynamically and added it to the routing table)
    You also mentioned that you were able to connect to the Internet which would indicate there was indeed a default route with the new configuration?
    I am a bit confused about the host mask on the external interface (/32 - 255.255.255.255) ? Does the ASA really let you configure a host address on the interface? It can't lead anywhere as there is no next hop with a host mask. I think the ASA even blocks using a /31 mask link network which works with Cisco Routers.
    I guess I would go through the basic troubleshooting step when the new configuration is in use
    Check logs for any blocked connections or error messages
    Check the Static PAT (Port Forward) configuration with the "packet-tracer" command
    Capture traffic on the ASAs external interface (with the ASA itself) and confirm that you are seeing the TCP SYN of any connection attempts, or perhaps capture ICMP

  • I am trying to figure out how to merge my AD network account.

    I am trying to figure out how to merge my AD network account with my Mac account. The main reason for this is wanting to log into my admin account on the Mac, and have it also log into my network account so I do not have to log into differing accounts depending on wether I am on the network or not. And I am going to be running VMware fusion with windows on top, so having one account would be essential to this.
    Thanks.
    P.S. I am brand new to Apple, not by choice. ;-)

    Basically I want to link a network account to a local account, so that I always log into the same account, even if I do not have network access....

  • Trying to figure out a Network Extender Problem

    So I am not at a loss for trying to figure out what's the issue with my NE that I just got since I've had VZW service issues in my home for months.
    Network:
    Cable Modem->NAT Server -> Switch -> Network Extender
    I've never had any IPsec issues using VPN on any of my work laptops with either Array or Cisco VPN. I went into the NAT server and port forwarding 53,500,4500,52428 on both UDP and TCP. I've tested that it works to another laptop behind the NAT box using both bit torrent tests / windows RDP. So the forwarding should work. I know there is no front end to the NE (which is frustrating) since I am seeing traffic come out the NAT to VZW (and VZW has shown me the local IP). So any advice here? If I plug the NE directly into the Cable Modem, works great in about 5 minutes. I find it hard to believe that this thing won't work with a switch (as per Samsung).
    Any other advice here? I might have to add a 3rd NIC to my NAT Server just to dedicate to the NE if I can get the above to work.
    Thanks for the help!

    I have a new iPhone 5S.  While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content.  I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it.  There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want.  I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone.  Help!

    The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

  • I am trying to figure out how I can get my library transferred to the Honda Accord 16gb hard drive?  I have purchased music of off I tunes and do not have the physical CD.  Anybody with any suggestions on how this can be done?

    I am trying to figure out how I can transfer my library to my new 2014 honda accord that has an internal 16gb hard drive.  The manual for the car says that it needs to be original CD's but I have purchased alot of the albums/songs I have from I tunes therefore not having the original CD.  Can someone help me with this as I dont want to load each CD into the player to record and have some albums that I purchased off of I tunes that I would like to be on the hard drive.
    Thanks Any Help is appreciated.

    If Honda says you need the original CDs, you need the original CDs.

    I am new to working with pdf.  I am trying to fill out a form that was attached to a website.  I have a Macbook Pro and I am trying to learn Acrobat.  How do I get the form to accept my input?

    If there are Acrobat PDF form fields, not jus a space for a form field, then you will have to add them. It would be better to ask the provider of the form to add the fields. If you cannot add the fields, then you can use the add text feature.
    Have you looked in the "Tools" panel for the "Forms" category?

  • Hi - Re Keynote  I'm trying to figure out how to create a music album on USB flash drive. What I want is a background picture with 'click-buttons' to play each track listed, also similar for embedded videos and photos etc.  Is this possible with Keynote ?

What I want is a background picture with 'click-buttons' to play each track listed, and play in order (like a cd) - also similar for embedded videos and photos etc. This should all be on the one page.  
    Is this possible with Keynote, or any other software package for Mac (am using Macbook Pro) ?

    Yikes, it sounds like you've been doing a lot of work on this project... Unfortunately, however, this isn't the Adobe Encore forum, but the Acrobat.com forum.
